Gaps in a stock chart are areas where the stock price sharply jumps from one price point to another without any trades occurring at prices in between. In other words, a visible gap appears on the chart between two candlesticks or data points.
Why not “GAPs”?
In our trading system, gaps are considered undesirable. Significant gaps that occur overnight or over the weekend pose a risk of prematurely triggering stop-loss orders, resulting in unwanted position closures. Therefore, it is essential to focus on stocks with minimal gap occurrences or on securities where gaps are practically eliminated.
